Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cornmeal
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
• 0.75 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 medium Fresh jalapenos, finely chopped
• 2 Green onions, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and lightly beaten egg until well combined.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped jalapenos, and green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, fill each cavity of the mini muffin tin about three-quarters full with the batter.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Step 9

Enjoy these mini jalapeno muffins as a savory snack, appetizer, or accompaniment to soups and salads!
